How She Got Into Tech Sales at Oracle With ONE Application via Entr Tech

How did Jenapa get into tech sales at Oracle with just one application?

In this episode of the Entr Tech Podcast, Jenapa shares how she went from studying Biomedical Sciences at the University of Surrey to securing a year-in-industry role supporting the sales organisation at Oracle.

After realising that a traditional laboratory career was not right for her, Jenapa began exploring health tech, business and technology sales. She set her sights on Oracle, researched its placement programme and worked backwards to understand exactly what the company wanted from successful candidates.

Jenapa explains how she prepared months before the Oracle application opened, tailored her CV specifically to the role and applied within minutes of the opportunity going live.
